Life

One of the most interesting things in life, to me at least, is just that, life itself, how it develops from seemingly nothing to something more and more. From nothingness into a fetus, and from a fetus into an adult.

It is in fact why I created Shadow. Ben’s shadow, who is a magical creature in the infant or early child stage, and who is the 2nd main character in my dark fantasy series BENJAMIN JONES.

Stories in life

Stories are what shape us. Each day in our heads we tell ourselves something, whether positive or negative. So, whatever you tell yourself is what counts. Would you allow yourself to be miserable because the situations in your life don’t match your expectations??

Or would you keep positive even in the face of loss and sad events in your life?? Shadow is a positive character in the series, even silly and childish at times; but that is because he represents the love, the innocence, the curiosity in Ben.

So, he was born from magic and in the image of Ben. Shadow is his shadow. And that is what your life is, a shadow, a projection of your attitudes and character in life. Because, again, stories shape us. So choose your story carefully each day.

The small things

Love unites

Everything that changes with time and evolution is external. The rest, the inner is about choices. Love can unite people all their lives, just as long as you choose love by focusing on the small details in regards to you, to your partner, to life.

If the mind is to deviate from the small things in life, then it will fall under chaos–it will fall into frustration, worry, and into the illusion of the changing external. (Become highly aware of this to avoid all kinds of problems.)

All mental health and connection

And then, when in chaos, anger appears, and mental distortions and all obsessions appear, and separation from your true self and from your loved one appear. That is why the heart of all mental health and connection lies not in what you see but in what you cannot.

Dark/Epic Fantasy

“Jesus, buddy! What’re you doing?!” The sleeping willow woke up and said to Adit. “This could be considered as abuse. Hands off!”

“What is happening here?!” Ben shrieked loudly.

Benjamin Jones thought he could be losing his mind. Once, he’d been so rational about life, but since this quest had started he was questioning life more and more. Magic was all around him here. And now he was beginning to understand how crazy this could be.

Coming-of-age fantasy

This adventure is about the spiritual and magical journey of a 12-year-old orphan boy who learns he’s a shaman. He does not believe in himself at first, but with the help of his friend and spiritual guru he starts on a journey of self-discovery to find his relationship to an ancient Sumerian demigod and to find out who took his parents.

A dark fantasy

The boy goes through much self-doubt and fear. Many voices in his head. He can see ghouls. There’s a necromancer after him. He feels cursed. This adventure is focused on describing his inner world, how he thinks and feels, his fears and joys. I want Ben to take life of his own in your mind. Because is not just about the paranormal and the magic per se, but also about his journey as a person just like any of us.

Alone time

Time for ourselves

Sometimes one needs a break from social media, from friends, from family, from work. And just sometimes the key is in taking care of yourself by seeking to be by yourself, alone with your thoughts. Relaxing. Maybe pondering your life and what you really want out of it. Perhaps meditating on your habits and actions.

All this alone time, all this inner seeking can lead you to great ideas and insights about yourself and about the direction your life is taking. Time for ourselves is the best use of our time, because it helps us grow as human beings, because it guides us into being more mature and wise individuals.

Social media

A blessing and a curse

Social media is a blessing. We can communicate with the world through a computer or phone. We can gain knowledge into other cultures and traditions. We can find out events, news around the world easily and whenever we want. We can help others who live far away even.

But, truth is, it can also be a curse. We can be robbed of our money or fooled by professional scammers. We can be a target for trolls and bullies. We can lose much of our privacy. And the worst, at least for me, we can lose time with distractions instead of focusing on the work that matters most to us.

Scheduling time

I think this disguises itself, but deep inside it’s a real problem. Sometimes social media can be draining of our time, of our energy, of our desires. Sometimes the time lost on social media could’ve been better used to do other things that need our attention–like family time, like working on hobbies, like work, like outdoor activities, etc.

I think a good schedule, a good order should steer us in a good direction. Scheduling can bring discipline into our lives, maybe more productivity and passion for something that matters more than checking what our friends are doing on Twitter or Facebook.

Simple things…

The simplicity of things

Nothing beats the simple idea. Sometimes we put a lot of pressure on ourselves and think of the perfect gesture, or a great idea, or some specific way to think about something. Many times we complicate things and confuse and frustrate ourselves even more.

But most of the time what counts is the start of something, and that start should be simple. In simplicity we can envision better what we truly want. In simplicity lies the journey of understanding, because simplicity makes it easier and clearer for our minds to grasp our direction in life.

The journey must be simple

If it’s too complicated, the mind loses interest. For example, if someone starts exercise for the first time and it is too much too soon, then that someone will end up frustrating himself and quitting.

Or if someone likes someone else romantically and starts thinking of grand gestures and formulas to “show love”, then that someone will probably end up either scaring the other person or end up frustrated with himself.

Always simplicity. Think of little steps. Master patience. Life, and all the great events happening in it, is about persistence. Persistence means belief in yourself, in your capacity to achieve your passions and desires, to keep going steady, faithfully.

Going up

That’s how you know…

When things are not going as expected in life is because we need the current experience. In order for things to get better your mind must reach a point of understanding even in the struggle. It is how we know, when things are not going as we want; because things are getting ready for the shift, energy is clearing out.

Life is like a rollercoaster. Up and down. Up and down. In order for knowledge and understanding to be absorbed the mind must let go from fear of the ride. The ride is not always going to stay down, but it is building momentum to go up. You, of course, must be ready to go up.

Going up…

Going up is a state of mind, first and foremost. The mind makes up your reality, which means your mind must embrace a new reality to shift your understanding and for things to change. Even if you inherit a million dollars, you can be depressed and hate your life. Because beyond all the loads of money you have now, your mindset has not shifted.

So, going up starts with the shift of your mindset. You want a better life, one where you feel loved and happy, confident and successful?? Then your mind must let go from the negative mentality, and from the self-pity, and from the complaining you do now. Again, going up is a powerful mental state you have to reach first.

Close to your heart

Trusting others

It might not be our cup of tea. It might not be the way we see things. It might not be what we are use to. But we all need help once in a while. Whatever it is, there is no shame in seeking help. Oftentimes, we think we can do it alone because our desire is there and we feel strong, but sometimes desire is not enough and courage to trust others is required from us.

Courage to change our habits. Courage to leave our pride and old ways. Courage to choose to be better than we were yesterday. It’s easy to remain set in your old habits, traditions, and ways of doing things; but to be better and progress requires great change. Great change in our lives perhaps needs guidance from someone else.

Being humble

Courage to let others help us, guide us, point the way, is about humility. Humility is the opposite of pride. Pride is eating us alive, and it might be taking us on a wrong path. Life is difficult, things are challenging, events unfold unexpectedly. We all go through that. But that is why it is so important to find your people, your tribe, your family; and then let them give you a hand, let them connect with you.

This bond might be just what changes your life for the better, or not so much; but truth is you’ll never know if pride is allowed to fester in your mind. Freedom is about liberating yourself from all that anxiety and burdens you may carry. Sometimes others carry their own burdens, and so they can give you guidance in your own life. Because sometimes is about letting others close to your heart instead of judging so much with your mind.

What is it to love??

Photo by Artem Saranin on Pexels.com

About Love

O, what is this love I feel?!
For it has no desperation.
For it has no agony or sorrow.
Is it real or is it just an illusion??

And what is it to love...??
Isn't love freedom to be...??
This love is pure and grand.
It is love that gives me wings.

I found it alone and deep inside me.
After all chasing and groveling I did.
I found that love is about being reborn.
I found that love is about only myself.

Enjoy what is…

Expectations

It’s great to have ambitions and expectations. It’s wonderful to be able to work towards something and put your passion and commitment to that vision of what could be. But one thing I remind myself is that nothing is a given, and nothing will be exactly as I want it to be; and this is the whole purpose, to become joyful of the journey without becoming attached to the destination.

Enjoy the journey

What comes in the future, will come in the future. What will be, will be. Our only responsibility is the moment, the journey. Are you enjoying what you are doing now?? Why not?? Are you seeking inspiration right now?? Or are you waiting for the future to bring you joy and contentment??

Quite often, most of the time without realizing it, we get entangled with the pressures of life, with the anxiety in our minds, and we then get swept by all this and forget about the moment we are living. You exist now. The past you is gone. The future you is not here. You will always exist in the moment, so don’t allow your mind to make you forget about this and instead make you dream of a future that is not here.
